He has been relentlessly seeking God through Logic (Indian philosophy of Navya-Nyaya) and Love (Western Spirituality). The Twenty one articles in this book are subdivided into Logic and Nyaya, Hermeneutics and Dhvani, Spirituality and Sadhana, and Dharma and Ethics. The articles attempt to articulate a philosophy that integrates Indian and Western insights as we all as a spirituality that is both humanising and world-open.
